Interesting talk.

Ancient Greeks = all that exists is atoms and the void.

Science = all that exists is energy in different states/forms/patterns of "congealed" energy.

Me = all the above, however, beyond all that exists is unknowable. The paradox of knowing the unknowable. Welcome to the Absurd[1]. Population? All that exists. However don't give up trying to know or at least trying to create meaning in the midst of the desert; right Sisyphus?

Now put another prawn (shrimp) on the BBQ and pass me a beer mate. Cheers!
